Project Galileo is a collection of class-tested educational materials and resources for science education. The site includes information about a variety of pedagogical strategies as well as a large database of ConcepTests for use of Peer Instruction in introductory physics courses.A Dictionary of Unitshttp://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=82387
Information about units of measurement and several online conversion applications.Easy Java Simulationshttp://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=77102
This is an authoring system (written in Java) that allows users to create their own simulations without writing Java code.Periodic Table of the Elementshttp://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=91072
A very versatile periodic table that displays not only the properties of each element, but also how they compare to each other.University of Iowa PET Centerhttp://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=91173
Positron Emission Tomography or P.E.T. is the study and visualizationof human physiology by electronic detection of short-lived positronemitting radiopharmaceuticals. It is the only non-invasive technology thatcan routinely and quantitatively measure metabolic, biochemical andfunctional activity in living tissue. This site discusses PET scanning in detail.An Introduction to Mirageshttp://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=79223
This is multi-linked website that constitutes serious scientific tutorial regarding the optics of atmospheric mirages. The site contains extensive material, references and links to other sites. These include photographic examples of much of the phenomena as well useful simulations illustrating many of the types of mirages. The site originated as an explanation of "green flashes" and therefore pays particular attention to that phenomena.Cómo Enseñar Física- 2 / How to Teach Physics-2http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=429607
Presentación basada en el libro "Teaching Physics with the Physics Suite" de Edward Redish. Esta presentación está enfocada en que docentes de física universitaria o escolar sepan más acerca de la integración de la tecnología, recursos de aprendizaje y metodologías dentro de una clase. Estos modelos buscan enganchar al alumno en un aprendizaje activo y comprometido en cualquier tipo de clase, ya sea expositiva, de ejercicios, de laboratorio o taller.This presentation is based on the book "Teaching Physics with the Physics Suite" by Edward Redish. This presentation is focused on letting university or school physics teachers about the integration of technology, learning resources and methods within a class. This model seeks to engage students in active and engaged learning in any type of class, whether expository, exercises, laboratory or workshop.Energy Costs and Appliance Usagehttp://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=90482

Hands-On Universe ? (HOU) is an educational program that enables students to investigate the Universe while applying tools and concepts from science, math, and technology. Using the Internet, HOU participants around the world request observations from an automated telescope, download images from a large image archive, and analyze them with the aid of user-friendly image processing software. The Lawrence Hall of Science at University of California, Berkeley, is the educational center for the HOU project.
